[Supras] Disappearing Doors

[Sean Cavanaugh]

The full demo video from the company states that they want to incorporate the door design from the getgo so that the proper structural support is included in the design.  they even show a design that has the door slide INTO the car but still below the floor, maintaining the ground clearance below the car as well as protecting the doors when slid down.
